Another Fierce Fight in Rowan County
-Tolliver Said to be Dead.

LEXINGTON, KY, June 22.-lnformation
has been received here of another battle in
Rowan county, which occurred this morn
ing at 9 o'clock. In this fight, Craig Toll
liver, the desperate, who has lorded it over
that section, was killed. 1t is said that a
large party of men, ostensibly led by DR..
Logan, whose two sons were murdered in
cold blood by the Tolliver men about two
weeks ago and who was in Jail in this city
at the time of the tragedy, had organized
band of regulators for the purpose of rid
ding the county of the desperadoes. Rumors
of this band being in the neighborhood of
Morehead have been frequent. This morn
ing at little after o'clock, the regulators,
being concealed in close proximity
to Morehead, opened fire on Tolhver and
some of his gang who were on the streets.
Tolliver was killed in the engagement and
the fight assumed bushwhacking charac-
ter, the men hiding behind the houses. and
trees and shooting at any one that could be
seen. The reports differ as to the number
killed, one placing the number at five, in
cluding Tolliver. Another stated that Craig
Tolliver, two of his brothers and thirteen
Others had been killed. There is great con-
fusion in the telegraphic reports coming in
and accurate news is out of the question.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Ine Killed include Craig IolliVer, Bud
Tolliver, Jay Tolliver and Hiram Cooper
They were all shot through the heart and
died instantly. Craig Tolliver seems to have
been the general target, as he
was so thoroughly riddled as to be
scarcely recognizable Cate Tolliver, II
year-old boy, and three others, all of whom
were captured except Cate Toliver, who
crawled into the brush and escaped, were
wounded Three others escaped but were
captured afterward. The attacking party
was strong one. The Sheriff and posse
have left for there.

SANFORD GLEANINGS.

Cold Comfort Now Assured-New Gen.
eral Offices for the South Florida
SANFORD, FLA, June 21.--The Sanford
Ice Company is now an assured success.
Yesterday the Superintendent of the fac
tory, in examining the works, happened to
taste the contents of one of the watts, which
he found TO be salty. Upon further exami-
nation it was found that some miscreant
had placed salt in each of the watts, which
kept the contents from solidifying. 1t is
not known who did this, but suspicion
points to parties who are more interested in
the failure than the success of the enter
prise.
